[01] FinMin Tsakalotos urges Ergo to maintain jobs, create new ones,
after ATE Insurance acquisition
Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos said Munich Re's insurance subsidiary
Ergo, which completed the acquisition of Greece's ATE Insurance on
Tuesday, must prove in practice that the move will ensure existing jobs
and create new ones.
The minister was speaking during a meeting on Wednesday with
representatives of ATE employee's union to discuss the acquisition,
the finance ministry said in a press release.
Ergo bought ATE Insurance from Piraeus Bank for 90.1 million euros,
subject to net asset value adjustments. The sale had been announced by
Piraeus Bank in 2014.
[02] Access to files of dissidents kept by Greek police approved,
under conditions
Greek Data Protection Authority approved on Wednesday the opening of
about 2,500 personal files of dissidents or ordinary civilians kept
by Greek authorities after the civil war and until 1974, unless they
concern national security or particularly serious crimes.
In a press release on the issue, the body said that people involved in
political and social struggles or important, high-profile trials from
1945 until the fall of the Junta in 1974 can access their files which are
kept in the Interior ministry. However, the authority blocked complete
or partial access to files pertaining to national security or serious
crimes. Researchers and journalists will require a special permit from the
data authority for access to personal files of people who are still alive.
